Henry revealed the reason he debuted in South Korea.
On the 10th, Channel A's "Close Friends Documentary: 4-Person Dining Table" featured singer Henry, described as a "musical genius," inviting his close friends Sam Hammington, Sayuri, and Kim Soo-ro.
Henry said, "Kim Soo-ro feels like an older brother, a leader, and a teacher to us," while Kim Soo-ro expressed his affection for Henry, stating, "He is a younger brother who wants to give more than receive." Sam Hammington remarked, "He is a kind-hearted friend with a gentle soul."
Henry described Sayuri as "someone with more energy than me. She is warm and smart," while Sayuri commented, "She is pure like a child and untainted. In a good way, she really feels like a child."
Sayuri asked Henry how he debuted. Henry replied, "I wasn't very interested in auditions. My friends insisted that I had to go. It feels awkward to say this, but I was quite popular. They said I'd perform better if I sang Korean songs. So I sang Kim Bum-soo's 'I Miss You.'"
Henry stated, "I was the first in the world to combine popping and playing the violin. After that, I sang 'I Miss You.' What was surprising at that time was that I received a callback. I honestly had doubts about becoming a celebrity in Korea. My dad said it wouldn't work out. I secretly went with my mom. I got a good feeling from the company."
Henry reflected, "I debuted in a group, but honestly, I wasn't satisfied at that time. There's a limit to the music you can present in a group. I once only sang 3 to 4 seconds in a song. Then I gave it all up and went to America. It was probably the scariest moment of my life. People around me were like, 'Are you crazy?' They said I needed to keep working and build a fanbase. Looking back, I think they were right. I didn't know anything about songwriting. I learned a lot after going there. At that time, I created my entire solo album and asked Lee Soo-man to listen to it and let me release it."
